The Class "Exploring College through Media"
The Diversity Times is the newspaper of the "Exploring College through Media" class of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison’s PEOPLE (Pre-College Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence) Program
administered by the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are proud to introduce our
new website, www.diversitytimes.com, that will journalize the daily activities of our class.
The PEOPLE Program’s mission is to help students successfully make each transition from middle school to
high school to college. Approximately 1,200 students participate at some level. We began in 1999 with 66 eager
ninth-graders from Milwaukee public high schools who are now completing college degrees and entering the
workforce.
Exploring College through Media is visiting five workplaces in Madison: the State Capitol, Madison Gas &
Electric, Kraft/Oscar Mayer, UW Hospital & Clinics and the University of Wisconsin where the students are meeting
professionals of color and learning about research and development, alternative energy sources and other
contemporary issues.
The students are taking photos and writing commentary, which are being posted to this site on a regular basis.
On July 3, the students will be publishing an eight-page, full-color edition of The Diversity Times containing
articles written about their field trips and photos taken during the visits. The Diversity Times will be distributed at
the three- week PEOPLE Program celebration and will also be posted on The Diversity Times website.
We hope you find our students’ experiences informative!
